I have more than 30 years experience in human-wildlife conflicts and human dimensions in natural resource management issues, working across the globe. I am also a member of the IUCN/SSG Large Carnivore Initiative for Europe (http://www.lcie.org/) and have led various research projects throughout Europe on large carnivores. Through human dimension research and applied human dimensions facilitated workshop approach (AHDFWA), I understands the nature of the conflict and work with groups to understand and address the key issues. I enjoy working with people and finding solutions to conservation challenges that we face today.
